(And three votes for the Dark Mistress vote above, which will have to wait until the Talented Bestiary [by RPG Superstar winner Steven T. Helt and his Four Horsemen group] is published)

Though if you do make a book about my talents it will have to be so heavily censored it will mostly just be black lines with the occasional word here and there. Not sure many people would consider that a good buy.

Balance is over rated and subjective. As long as everyone has their moments to shine and are having fun.

Then we only disagree on the point that 'Pathfinder allows everyone to have their moments to shine'.

IMHO everyone having their moment to shine has more to do with the GM than the game rules. A GM is god in their game they can set up situations where everyone has their moments. Of course what it means to shine is also subjective and heavily based on what the player wants out of the game. Knowing what your players want out of the game and giving them moments to accomplish it, in my experience works and makes everyone happy.

Yes I stopped doing reviews for a variety of reasons. I am still on from time to time. The truth is the deal with Clark kinda bugged me, not to mention the guy writing the story contacted me here a few times and posted in threads I did. Trying to get me to comment and it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth for posting.

With all due respect to the OP, while I really think that it is fine to ask for suggestions on the forums, you need to remember that this is just a game. I think you are getting some pretty horrible advice (her than Lazar's advice about counseling). If you and your wife love each other and want to make it work, find out why she hates you gaming so much and then either change how often or how long you game, or quit. As much as I love gaming with my friends, I love my wife more.

Actually this isn't really about gaming. This is about his wife demanding he stop doing something he loves doing. I am assuming he was gaming before they meet, if so. Then her demanding it now, after she knew it before they ever got married is beyond unreasonable.

Now if she gets no girls night out, then she has a complaint about things being unfair and he should make sure she gets as much time as him. But she shouldn't have a say on what he does in his free time with his friends. As long as it is not hurting anyone and gaming doesn't.

This is something I personally would LOVE to have and would pay good money for.

A new map collection set. One that featured the new giant player-oriented maps designed to look like an ink-and-parchment drawing of varies regions. The latest one for Irrisen is what made me think of it.

What I would like is a map pack with say 3-4 regions/nations in each pack made like that style of map. You could do one of South Inner Sea's, which would have Cheliax, Andoran, and Isger in the first one, then another one With Taldor, Galt, Absalom, and Qadira next, etc.

Personally I would love to have such a map for every nation and region of the world, something to hand the players. My players always want to go find a map of the region they go to next as one of their first acts.

This edition of the Harrow Deck is now sold out. We are working on a new edition; it's several months away, though.

Very cool, glad to hear the back is going to be changed a bit. Hope they look more like what real cards would look like. I also would love to see them being bigger cards like most Tarrot cards are done. Finally I am still hoping for rules to let you do plot twist, or flash back type things rules for these based on the combo of cards drawn. Yes I know I can do that and I do, but having printed rules to start from would help. :)

3) As much as some people complain about Facebook, it really is a necessary evil. If you want read, get on Facebook. If you want to help publishers spread the word of their products, get on Facebook. In short, get on Facebook.

I want to take a moment to be clear on my position here. What I object to is any content or value that is exclusively available via Facebook. I don't care if Paizo (for instance) has a Facebook page, but the moment they stop using their own forums and start using Facebook is the day I cease having any contact with their discussion groups.

Link to? Sure, whatever floats your boat. Rely upon? No.

Why? In short I elect not to join a community that functions purely to aggregate and sell my personal information - even information I don't realize I'm making available. Any company that forces or even rewards that I sacrifice my personal privacy isn't a company I need to do business with.

I agree completely, I refuse to join or take part in facebook myself. If people use it great, I would just find it annoying if I had to join facebook to find everything I wanted. There has been a few companies that did that and I never did care for it.

I could do Youtube-reviews, yes - not sure, though, they'd be particularly popular. Gotta think about it.

Regarding ads - well, there's the thing with ad-blindness - recent research has shown that most people have managed to completely block any input from advertisement. Additionally, it could come off as dishonest: Say I have an advertisement of publisher x on my site and give a book of the publisher a good rating - might be problematic. I'd be suspicious. And then there's yet another thing: If a publisher pays me for advertisement and I rip a product to shreds, wouldn't that be weird? Also: Not sure whether there's an interest in advertising thusly in the first place....

So yeah, I contemplated advertisements and used banners for some time, but they just don't work.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Yes I would stay away from ads from products/companies you review. But maybe ads for board games, or web comics, or things of that nature.

Not that i am in favor of ads on web pages, only saying IF you wanted to go the way of ads I would look at those kinds of ads.

Regarding the PDF, Art resolutions, Maps, etc. This will be fixed. We need to re-compress the images differently. Working on that now. Rest assure the print version does NOT look like this.

I have not had a chance to read the whole thing but i have looked over it and so far i really like the book. Especially the part early on about the NPC's and how they go if the PC's don't intervene when they have a chance. I loved that, all and all I am very happy it. My only real complaint was the art and map resolutions but since that is due to be fixed that great. Looking forward to the fixed PDF and more importantly the book. :)

Post-F5 Edit: And sorry, Jessica/Mods for repeating real world issues here. Spoilered now, but please delete if it derails.

reply:

The biggest negative view in my experience from both sides of the sexuality spectrum is. That it seems a lot on both sides assume if you are bi you are slut. If you are attracted to both genders you must of course sleep with at least twice as many people and have tons of threesomes.

Also it seems everyone naturally assumes you are into kinky stuff as well.

One of my friends is a bi guy who is about as vanilla as you could ask for when it comes to sex and being in his early 40's has been with a grand total of 5 people of both genders his whole life.

I have to say that Pathfinder is supposed to be a game that facilites lighthearted fun. The last thing I want in the game is something that promotes the homosexual agenda or any other political or philosophical agenda. I was highly annoyed at having to change the gender of the love interest in "The Midnight Mauler" so I could run the scenario in good conscience. This sort of thing has no place in your typical rpg game.

As a homosexual myself, I gotta say thay I'm feeling a bit alarmed that I haven't been fully briefed on this "homosexual agenda. Any chance you could direct me towards it? I do hate being out of the loop.

I guess that makes us bisexuals the spy's of this dueling agenda's, for we literately sleep with the enemy. :)

Actually i wouldn't be surprised at all if it is Kyra, I could see the comic ending along the lines of this.

Val comes up to Kyra and asks her out for a night on the town. She informs him he is not her type. He is confused and doesn't understand, she explains Seoni is more her type. He looks at her dumb founded for a moment, then the dawning of the light.

"OH.... *he smiles* can I watch?"

*Kyra punches him in the head*

with the last panels of the comic being from Val's perspective with a Kyra's fist in his face and the final panel being black with a moaning of pain word balloon.
